Srs warning came on. Had fault code. Called chevy dealer and they said I would need a new airbag. I researched and found that gm does know about this and even put out a tsb. It is a connector to the airbag itself located in the left kick panel. The fix is to clean the connector or replace it. No new airbag is needed but it did reoccur about a year later. Recleaned and ok again. This is a safety item and should be a recall. Since gm knew it I must assume that the federal safety agency knew it also. I can see where a lot of people would not fix this and just drive like this since a lot of technicians think you need a new airbag when it is in fact poor wiring by gm.

When I got in the truck to go to work, airbag warning light along with the dic notification where on. With a osb ii reader, got a code or "b0104 front right senor replace". Replaced the senor at owners expense. With new part installed the warning light and dic message cleared.

Check airbag light stays on.. Do I need to disengage? Please advise.
For no apparent reason, the air bag warning lights on vehicle came on when starting the vehicle. Vehicle has not been involved in any accident. Vehicle was taken in for repair and repair shop said the front sensors for no apparent reason had gone defective disabling the air bags on vehicle. Sensors had to be replaced and I was told parts were only available from a chevrolet dealership. After repair I checked online and found numerous other owners of chevrolet vehicles have experienced the same problem. I am concerned with the safety issue of disabled air bags when this part goes defective for no reason.
Service air bag warning light has been on since 2007, when vehicle was still under warranty. Has been to bob grimm chevrolet in morton, il for this same problem approx 9 times. I no longer live in the vicinity of this dealer, and wouldn't want them working on it again since they have been unable to repair multiple times. Written communication to gm all the way up to ceo has not resolved this issue. Jack schmitt chevrolet in o'fallon, il did a diagnostic and reported the air bag in my vehicle is used. Nobody has ever worked on the truck regarding the air bag except bob grimm chevrolet. My understanding is when this light is on, the air bag will not deploy, endangering my life.
While driving down the road my service air bag light when on, was told air bags and safety products would not work unless fixed,$500.00 later done 2yrs later 08/22/14 light is on again?? 30,000 more miles? I never off road and keep my stuff very nice.
As I was driving the "service air bag" warning appeared in the information center of the dash and the air bag light started to blink. There was no reason for the warning light. I re-set the information center and the warning reappeared. Very disappointing as there are only 64,537 miles on the vehicle. I checked on the internet to see if there was a recall for this problem for my vehicle, as the miles are very low on my vehicle. Of course there was none for my vehicle. It appears this is a common problem with gm vehicles and an extra expense to the owners. I'm very disappointed at this point. I could not locate any recalls for my vehicle VIN, but there were other recalls involving the air bags with other gm vehicles. I'm lost for words.
Air bag light stays on.
Service airbag light on.
Service air bag light was activated without any reason.
I was driving 75 MPH with my cruise control on, and the speedometer dropped to 35 MPH. Shortly after, about 10 miles, the air bag light came on. The speedometer reset after turning off the ignition switch and worked properly. This happened again two more times, and the speedometer failed completely. The air bag light remained on and is still on at 123,000 miles. Diagnostic check showed number 1 air bag sensor fault. Replaced sensor. Air bag light still on. I sent the speedometer head to a private mechanic in minnesota, and it now works fine.
